i really can't say that i'm dissapointed with the debates last night because i really didn't have very high expectations. i'm really getting tired of the "i'm better than you" plugs. this election year has really take on a 1984 feel to me. where everyone is trying to tell you what you want to hear in a better way than someone else and will change it to follow what ever the popular opinion is. the sad thing is that in some way they believe everything they say and mean none of it.
the media is no better. this might be where i get the 1984 feel from the most. could the media be more skewed and/or biased. to promote one canidate to almost the total exclusion of the other. |

i'm currently working on a project where we are addding a 4th wrapper module (stretch wrapper & conveyor) to a facility using a wrapper module from a closed facility.
(this is where the simple becomes the not so simple)
the area where the 4th wrapper module is to be placed is under existing flow rack. the mast of the reused stretch wrapper is too tall to fit under that rack even with modifications to the rack.
solution:
we use the stretch wrapper form wrapper module #3 (shorter mast) with the conveyor from the closed facility for wrapper module #4 and use strecth wrapper from the closed fgacility in wrapper module #3. the result is that we have to change the direction of flow on both stretch wrappers and raise 3 bays of flow rack 20".
(this where the not so simple becomes complicated)
friday as i was designing the forklift guard for wrapper module #4 i notice that while the wrapper module #3 is at a 18" top of roller the wrapper module from the closed facility is at 21" top of roller. doesn't quit work when you're trying to mix and match.
my solution:
raise the conveyor for wrapper #3 to 21" and shim or fabricate new guards 3" taller. get new supports and lower conveyor from closed facility to 18" and proceed as normal.
project managers solution:
contact stretch wrapper manufacture and see if the height of wrapper can easily be adjusted. if the can then lower stretch wrapper from closed facility to 18" and raise stretch wrapper from module #3 to 21" this will mean that the flow rack will have to be raise 24" instead for 20" and that it will have to be 4 bays instead of 3 bays. if the stretch wrappers can't be adjusted then see my solution.
in the mean time hurry up and wait until you hear back from the wrapper manufacture then bust your butt to try and get everything out after waisting who knows how long.
i would like to note at this time that this is more the norm than the exception, especially with tis customer.
update
just heard back from the wrapper manufacture and they said the wrapper elevation could only be changed by replacing a "collar". so basically we waIsted a day and a half confirming what i already knew and we will be going with the solution that i suggested. |
